Autonomous mowing machine for golf courses
Many golf courses still use petrol-powered mowers to cut the grass and manage the vegetation. These machines are not only expensive to operate and maintain (including many thousands of euros on fuel) but are also harmful to nature and golfers (noise) and detrimental to the environment (emissions). The solution to this problem is the use of Vector autonomous mowers for golf courses.
Efficiency of autonomous lawn mowing
The Vector autonomous mowing machine is capable of working much more efficiently than traditional mowers. Because they are autonomous, they can operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, allowing them to manage the terrain much faster and more effectively. This means that less time and money is spent on manually mowing grass and vegetation.
Golfers' safety
In a large area like a golf course, you want to offer your golfers a beautiful landscape. This includes well-manicured fairways, but certainly, peace and quiet is also an important factor for golfers. With the Vector WD2.0 autonomous mower, golfers can play their rounds undisturbed, without being hindered by grass maintenance. The autonomous mower cuts the grass while respecting the environment. Through a combination of hardware safety bumpers that are double-wired and additional lidar for obstacle detection, we are able to meet the high safety level standards in the current market. When detecting living animals and people, the mowing deck will shut off and will only turn back on when the distance is greater than 2 metres.
Our autonomous Vector tool carrier is equipped with sensors and software that enable it to accurately scan the terrain and adjust the mowing movements to the environment.
Cost savings in golf course grass management
Golf course managers incur significant maintenance costs annually. The use of the Vector autonomous mower will lead to lower costs for grass management on golf courses. With the Vector WD2.0 autonomous implement carrier, you will have far fewer man-hours, reduced absenteeism, and substantial savings on fuel and maintenance costs for the mowers.
In addition to these advantages, autonomous and emission-free mowing is actually quite logical. Golf courses are, by their very nature, areas where one wants to enjoy the game and nature in peace. This also means that as a greenkeeper, you respect nature and the wishes of golfers, and the emissions that traditional (radio-controlled) mowers still produce annually do not fit into that. Especially not now that there is a better alternative available with the Vector WD2.0 autonomous mower for golf courses.
Extension for greenkeepers
Greenkeepers take satisfaction in the precise mowing of the green and maintaining the correct height of the fairway and (semi) rough. Golf courses are vast areas, which means greenkeepers must continuously stay busy to meet the demands of the golfers. The Vector autonomous mower for golf courses is the ideal extension for greenkeepers. The greenkeeper can focus on the green, course maintenance, and planting. The Vector will keep the fairway and rough in optimal condition completely autonomously (without human intervention).
Sustainable
The autonomous mowing robot is electric, which means it has no CO2 emissions and produces little noise. With our additional solar panel package with batteries, the system can operate completely off-grid on the golf course. This makes the Vector WD2.0 the greenest solution on the market!
Reliable thanks to the latest software
A Vector autonomous mowing machine always has the latest and best software that is continuously updated. A team of six software developers is constantly working to send over-the-air updates to the machine for new functionality and reliability. This is a Dutch software company with a helpdesk that can provide technical support if needed.
